a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

My project of discovering the most beautiful beaches and bays on island Hvar and sharing them with you continues. This long and narrow sunny island is so diverse in its beauty that it never ceases to amaze me. It's like a little universe in itself. Trust me there are still moments when the beauty of island Hvar leaves me speechless. Today I'm happy to announce that I have found another magnificent beach to share with you. This beach is called Kamenjara ( kamen stands for rock in Croatian so basically it is a rocky terrain we're talking about). Kamenjara is located in immediate vicinity of Soline beach . Basically you just walk over to the other side of this peninsula and you'll be there in two minutes. While Soline beach offers a view of Vrboska village and Jelsa village, Kamenjara beach faces the other side and offers you a magnificent panorama of Croatian coastline and Brač island. There is also a wind surf center Bota if you're into water sports. I believe this...

I'm back with another reading update . Today I'll be reviewing two very different novels: Human Acts  by Han Kang and Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. I've heard good things about both of these authors, but I only got to reading one of their works last month. These two books were my introduction to Pratchett and Kang, you might say. I'm happy to report I quite liked both of them and plan to read more of them. Isn't it great when you discover authors that are perfect for you? Han Kang is a South Korean writer. A daughter of a novelist herself, Han Kang writes with ease. Her writing style is beautiful, touching and almost hypnotic. Kan really has a way of bringing you inside the story. I first heard about Han Kang when her controversial novel The Vegetarian started to trend and I've been meaning to read it ever since. When I saw this beautiful cover of Human Acts in Jelsa library, I knew it is time for me to pick it up. Similarly, I've been meaning to read T...

I have promised to show you the most beautiful beaches island Hvar has to offer, haven't it? I intent to keep my promise. Today I'm taking you to bay Skozanje . Located on the southern side of island Hvar, this beautiful bay can boost with a stunning pebble beach. It offers amazing views as well. The area itself is very green, the bay is surrounded by a thick pine forest. Olive trees are another common sight. Bay Skozanje is one of the bays that belong to village Gdinj. As some of you know, both of my maternal grandparents originate from this charming little village, so I know my way around it. Yesterday I intended to show all the southern bays belonging to Gdinj to my significant other. This involved lots of driving but we managed to see them all. Today I'm sharing one of them with you.   I love Gdinj bays. This village was once quite big, but Gdinj's population got smaller with time as most people moved to cities. However, during the summer months this chan...
